The oldest Arabic and English school in the Tamale Metropolis, Nuri-Islam, has celebrated its 60th anniversary with emphasis on the need to depoliticize the nation’s educational reforms.<\/p>\n
The school’s continuing students in a drama show called for national consensus on the successful implementation of the free SHS policy.<\/p>\n
The Northern Regional Director of Education, Alhaji Mohammed Haroun Cambodia, lauded the anniversary’s theme dubbed, “The role of Islamic and circular education in eliminating ignorance among the youth.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alhaji Haroun Cambodia stressed the need for parents to invest in their children’s education.<\/p>\n
He eulogized the forbearers of circular education in the region, and implored the current duty bearers in the education sector to double their efforts.<\/p>\n
According to him, the products of circular education are the most brilliant in all spheres of life, hence the need to allocate enough resources for that sector.<\/p>\n
He commended a former Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Nashiru Issahaku, and former students of the school for improving infrastructure at the main premises at Worizhehi in Tamale.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He condemned the increasing spate of armed robbery, drug abuse and internet fraud gaining notoriety in the region.<\/p>\n
The Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed, said government is committed to promoting circular education.<\/p>\n
He advocated stronger ties between government and circular education management, saying,”I challenge all leaders of circular education authorities in the region to formulate a policy for circular education to attract government’s attention.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He encouraged parents and guardians to take advantage of the free SHS policy to produce more scholars.<\/p>\n
“The free SHS has come to stay and government will sustain it at all cost” he said.<\/p>\n
Salifu Saeed posited that, the Zongo Development Fund and free SHS policies formed part of government’s poverty eradication strategy.<\/p>\n
Nuri-Islam was founded in 1960 by Alhaji Jibril Zakaria Lukman \u00a0and Hajj Hassan Nasirdeen \u00a0of blessed memory.<\/p>\n
